Fish Fossils Toe Up Sock
Fish Fossils Toe-up Sock has lacework on instep and around leg, a faux heel flap worked in either honeycomb pattern done with or without cable needle or knit-slip
ribbing. Additional options include tapered or rounded toe, generic or calculated foot length, and Russian or picot bind off. References are provided for most techniques.

written from the perspective of a right-handed, English style
knitter using circular needles and assumes sock knitting
and chart reading experience.
